Co ords details etc are exactly the same. The VW colony began activity late April with the 1st female obs collecting nest lining on 13 June - it has yet to rain - active nest clusters in the casuarina are lower than in 2016 this year. The crows have provided much study material this year especially with filmed evidence of regular visits to a nearby roadside puddle (top up daily by car washing activities) to collect & deliver water back to the developing chicks.
The crows also bred last year - plenty vid & pics of water transport tricks this last month - juvs have fledged
